The capillary-column inverse gas chromatography method was used to measure the diffusion and partition coefficients of ethylbenzene, styrene, and acrylonitrile in polybutadiene (PBD) at infinite dilution of the solvents. ...

A high level of protection of public health is one of the fundamental objectives of food law as laid down in regulations (EC) No 178/2002 and 852/2004. Throughout the European Union (EU) consumers are requiring the food ...

In this paper, we show how the design of a microdevice manifold should be tapered for uniform flow rate distribution. The designs based on the tree-branching rule of Leonardo da Vinci and the Hess-Murray rule were considered ...

The need for high data rate increases with the growing demand for wireless communication. In order to meet this demand, one of the most effective ways is deployment of small cells which are considered as a promising technique ...

In this paper, nonlinearly coupled identical Chua's circuits, when driven by sinusoidal signal have been analyzed in the time-domain by using the steady-state analysis techniques of piecewise-linear dynamic systems. With ...

Conventional geothermal power plants (GPP) differ from fossil-fuel power plants (FFPP) in many ways. The most specific ones are GPPs, are not cyclic plants and the working fluid is not pure steam. Geothermal steam contains ...

Preference is a superiority state to determine the preferable or the superior of one entity, property or constraint to another from a specified selection set. Preference issue is heavily studied in Semantic Web research ...

Here we show how smart features of self-cooling and self-healing can be gained to mechanical systems with embedded vascular structures. Vascular structures mimic the circulatory system of animals. Similar to blood distribution ...

In this study, the synchronization of the master-slave systems has been achieved and implemented on Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). In this paper, the master system and the slave system have been chosen as Lorenz and ...
